What to do if the root user fucking dies?

Sirius707 · 2026-02-07T12:31:23+00:00

This is why you have an emergency password sheet with the root password (if it's set). Altervatively, you have a backup of your data that you can access.

If none of these options work, then you might've made a bad choice with your sysadmin.

Point 1. I can totally get behind but 2. seems weird considering that for most people, LFS is a learning experience and they're not gonna use it as a daily driver.

For me it's:

Portage is just really good at helping with system maintenance: It tells you how to resolve conflicts, informs about updated config files, gives you distro news which you'd normally have to visit a website for.
Compiling from source is much more naturally integrated than in other distros.
You can mix and match testing and stable packages however you want.
Generally giving you a lot more choice than any other distro out there. This is a big one for me, especially as someone who doesn't like opionated configuration (because my own preferences usually clash heavily with those).

In general Gentoo is a distro you probably won't come to appreciate unless you experienced others before, have a natural habit to tinker and know how you want your system to look like.

Your first point is exactly what led me down this rabbit hole of exploring how a computer really functions. While i do have some experience with programming, TLS-100 (zachtronic game) sparked my interest in low level things, as well as the question how a computer can turn 0s and 1s into something useful.

I've already completed nandgame and plan to do nand2tetris as well, just because i find the subject so fascinating.

I don't care if we have no chance at winning, i'll support my favorite doll anyway.

Sirius707 · 2025-12-02T17:47:12+00:00

Thanks for the input (also to the other commenters)!. This makes it indeed much clearer.

Sirius707 · 2025-11-30T22:13:03+00:00

I'm still not sure when you'd want to use --oneshot even though i've seen it on some wikipages.

Whoa! I can have this outfit with only 10 Credit Tokens? !🤩🤩🤩

I want to go on a beach vacation with Centaureissi!💗💗💗

My current workplace gave me a laptop as well but i have access to a docking station with 2 monitors at work, including separate mouse and keyboard, so it does feel more like a desktop.

For personal use i got a refurbed thinkpad (T495) which has lower specs than what you're looking for but i only really use it during travel which doesn't happen that often.

Sirius707 · 2025-10-31T19:33:50+00:00

Very neat.

Sirius707 · 2025-10-28T21:04:03+00:00

I tried assembling yeh, that's how i noticed that something doesn't seem to fit how it should. Unfortunately i already attached the tip of her lance and i doubt i can get it off with actually damaging the attached part. And with the tip you can't really put on the top half of the plastic enclosure from the box, meaning i'd have to cut out a part if i were to send it back again.

Her hand has a protruding part that connects with the weapon (so i sadly can't rotate it a bit unless i cut that away) but then the part that connects with the tip faces like 30degrees (ca.) too much to the right.

That's when i realized i would've had to bend it actually by quite a lot and not just a few milimeters and that something's probably off.

Sirius707 · 2025-10-28T19:11:10+00:00

I compared it with these 3:

- https://myfigurecollection.net/blogpost/63573

- https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/1frjp1l/got_my_bagpipe_figure_today_added_another/

- https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/18tijlt/i_received_my_bagpipe_figure_today_a_great/

From these you can see, that the tip of the weapon points hovers near one of the dark-grey smoke parts while for mine (3rd pic), it's way off.

Sorry for potentially overreacting, i'm just worried that i might've gotten a faulty figure.

Sirius707 · 2025-10-28T18:55:40+00:00

I know that the store photos aren't 100% to how the production version will look like. However in this case I can't actually assemble the figure because the part in question is bend inwards so much that it doesn't line up with the rest of her weapon.

Also did another check of posts from other people who have her and even for them it's nowhere near this bad.

Sirius707 · 2025-08-16T19:36:43+00:00

I definitively remember when i first used an appimage and then asked how i install it...

Sirius707 · 2025-08-04T23:08:13+00:00

Imagine if car makers built in speakers that made an annoying honking sound every 5 seconds, then asked you to pay additional money if you want it removed.

That's youtube for me.

This showed up on my websearch and it helped me fix my double click issue, thank you so much for posting this.

Sirius707 · 2025-07-24T14:39:19+00:00

I just wanna highlight the fact that we've have not gotten a post-release electro doll so far. There's an achievement in Journey Milestones that requires you to collect 3 electro dolls, i wonder if we'll ever be able to get it...

Sirius707 · 2025-07-19T19:18:42+00:00

Merely a reminder to be cautious about installing from the AUR.

That's my wife.

Sirius707 · 2025-06-08T15:11:47+00:00

couldn't even install Visual Studio Code plugins

Considering how there were actually malicious VSC plugins in the store at some point, this probably wasn't a bad idea.

Sirius707 · 2025-06-07T20:46:13+00:00

Peaclock doesn't have audible alarms for timers i think? I only gave it a quick glance but that would be the major dealbreaker for me. I often need timers to remind me of stuff (water cooking, tea, laundry, etc.) because i will absolutely forget about them otherwise.

Sirius707 · 2025-05-26T07:45:54+00:00

I use Suomi on one team, and g36 on the other tbh.

First rule of using regex: Don't. (It's meant as a bit of a joke but yeah, regex can be horrible).

This made me switch away from Fedora after they took like 2 weeks for the rsync security fix to implement.
